She was an experienced fighter - trained by the Wolverine himself - and perhaps that lent to the overconfidence Kitty frequently displayed in battle, but never had it really failed her like this. The ninjas of the HAND were stronger than she had expected, and although she was more than ready to handle the rest of the fight, she wasn’t going to complain about Matt’s presence in it. Especially with the way that her shoulder was hurting and her inability to really move it at this point. That was going to be a pain later. Either way, she stood her ground. And Kitty didn’t need to be told twice about staying close. If not for her own benefit, she wanted to keep close just in case Matt ended up at risk - keeping him an arms length away could prevent some more serious injuries. “It’s always time for wise cracks. Keeps the fight fun.” She stood on her toes, peering over his shoulder at the semi-circle of ninja’s just ahead. Sure, she didn’t really have her arm in commission, but she had her legs, and boy was she willing to use them. Her good arm came around, wincing as she held her dislocated arm in front of her to keep it from further damage as she stepped around to Matt’s side. It probably wasn’t her best plan to keep fighting, but she wasn’t going to let him go it alone. “Ready, Daredevil?” A grin grew on her lips in spite of the situation.
She was. And Kitty didn’t hesitate - she ran at the nearest ninja, and jumped. Phasing right through them to fake them out, before turning to deliver a swift kick in the back of the knees. It was a strategy she was rather fond of, and didn’t need her arm to make it work. The threat fell to their knees, and she was quick to knock her own knee against the back of their head - and that was enough to take the one out. Maybe she did better under pressure. Or maybe she did better because Matt was right there with her - either way, she was going full hog. Which was to her benefit - she was back on the ball and focusing. Phasing to avoid a swipe off a blade. “Ha! Too slow!”
